Abstract
A method for tracking a target within a field of view, includes: receiving, from an input device, a target identifier uniquely identifying the target; receiving, from an infrared camera, a sequence of images resulting from infrared radiation received from the target and comprising a first region of radiation received from the target at a first intensity and an adjacent region of radiation received from the field of view at a second intensity; detecting, in a reference image from the sequence, a mask defined by a border between the first region and the adjacent region; storing an association between the target identifier and the mask; detecting the mask in a further image from the sequence; and annotating the further image with the target identifier according to the stored association.
